Study blames humans for most of melting glaciers

Associated Press: More than two-thirds of the recent rapid melting of the worlds glaciers can be blamed on humans, a new study finds. Scientists looking at glacier melt since 1851 didnt see a human fingerprint until about the middle of the 20th century. Even then only one-quarter of the warming wasnt from natural causes. But since 1991, about 69 percent of the rapidly increasing melt was man-made, said Ben Marzeion, a climate scientist at the University of Innsbruck in Austria. Glaciers are really shrinking...

Humans seen as biggest force behind glacier meltdown

Leader Post: Over the past 20 years, human influences have become the strongest driver of melting glaciers, Austrian and Canadian glaciologists reported Thursday in the journal Science. The world's glaciers have been shrinking since the end of the Little Ice Age but scientists say they now have "unambiguous evidence" that human activities are making them melt faster. Over the past 20 years, human influences on the global climate have become the strongest driver of melting glaciers, a team of Austrian and...

Humans to blame for much of recent glacier melt

Climate Central: From Alaska to the Alps, photos of today's diminished glaciers contrasted with grainy black-and-white images of their former, more massive states are some of the most widely used examples of the impact of human-caused climate change, with their melt threatening water supplies, enhancing sea level rise, and posing threats like floods from bursting glacial lakes. "Everybody is using [these photos],' said Ben Marzeion, a climate scientist with the University of Innsbruck in Austria. "But nobody actually...

Humans now strongest driver of glaciers melting, study finds

Press Association: Melting of glaciers caused by human activity has soared in the past 20 years, a study has shown. Human influence is now the strongest driver of glacier melting, which has been occurring since the end of the Little Ice Age in the mid-19th century, it is claimed. Between 1851 and 2010, only a quarter of glacial mass loss was due to human-induced climate change, scientists calculated. But during the last two decades of that period the human contribution rose to two thirds. Lead researcher...
